As with our previous roadmap posts this is what we intend right now, but it’s subject to change as we continue development. The ‘north star’ for this version is to generate better metadata about your app and use that data to make your dev experience better and more productive.

Unlike EF Core 2.1, the 2.2 release will include a small number of new features. We are concentrating most of our efforts to add new functionality on the 3.0 release. Still, you can expect 2.2 to include lots of bugs fixes, community contributions and small improvements.

This Preview builds upon the features that debuted in Visual Studio version 15.8 Preview 1 and Preview 2 which were both released last month. As always, you can drill into the details of all of these features by exploring the Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8 Preview release notes.
